This article is heavily unsourced and has terrible formatting. A lot of info is missing from its tables and the article dosen't meet WP:NOTE. The team only made D1 in 2021 and just isn’t notable enough to make an entire article talking about one season. Also see WP:NSEASONS for more information on why it should be deleted.

• Speedy keep: It overwhelmingly survived a deletion discussion in early 2020 with a consensus that FCS seasons are notable under GNG. Etzedek24 ^{( I'll talk at ya) ( Check my track record)} 17:11, 21 October 2021 (UTC) reply
• Keep, easily meets GNG with coverage such as this, this, this, this, this, this, this, this, and this. BeanieFan11 ( talk) 17:45, 21 October 2021 (UTC) reply
• speedy keep previous consensus is to keep per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2020 Tarleton State Texans football team which provided an abundance of sources that just need to be put in the article. I see no reason to overturn that prior AFD in the nomination. I don't understand the nominator's comment about information missing from the tables because they seem filled to me. As to "terrible formatting" it looks standard for other college football seasons. It passed WP:GNG before, it passes WP:GNG now. Any concerns are editing issues and not deletion issues.-- Paul McDonald ( talk) 19:08, 21 October 2021 (UTC) reply
• Keep, per the first AfD, and the sources provided by BeanieFan11. Meets WP:GNG. Ejgreen77 ( talk) 22:06, 21 October 2021 (UTC) reply
• Keep since the season was played in Spring 2021 (because COVID), should the article be renamed? On keep v. delete, while the article needs work, there's enough demonstrated coverage (and precedent for similar articles) this is an easy keep.

• Keep Clearly meets notability guidelines, per above. ~ EDDY ^{( talk/ contribs)}~ 01:53, 25 October 2021 (UTC) reply
• Keep. Tarleton State actually was a D1 team in 2020. It competed at the Division I FCS level and later moved up to FBS. Division I teams (both FCS and FBS) receive abundant WP:SIGCOV in reliable, independent sources, and it has long been accepted that season articles are appropriate for such programs. The sources presented by BeanieFan just scratch the surface in showing that the article satisfies WP:GNG. Cbl62 ( talk) 01:27, 27 October 2021 (UTC) reply

I do agree that the article is not in great shape and hope someone will take the article under their wing to improve, but Paulmcdonald is correct that this is an editing issue rather than a deletion issue. Cbl62 ( talk) 01:28, 27 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Keep. Subject is notable. Article needs improvement, not deletion. Jweiss11 ( talk) 02:53, 27 October 2021 (UTC) reply
